PER, the Alarm Clock Gene

Your internal clock isn’t just a metaphor—it’s encoded into your DNA. The PER gene, commonly referred to as the “alarm clock gene,” helps regulate circadian rhythms by signaling when it’s time to feel alert and when it’s time to wind down. Mutations in this gene can result in advanced or delayed sleep phase syndromes, leading people to struggle with falling asleep or waking up at socially acceptable times.

But while genes may set the rhythm, your environment sets the stage—and Night Air® 6-Zone Smart Beds are designed to align with your natural biology. Each model, including the Ultra 6115 and Ultra 614, offers dual adjustability and digital precision to accommodate varying needs throughout the night. For example, people with delayed sleep onset often report physical discomfort or agitation during bedtime. With zone-specific adjustments, you can ease the body into sleep with just the right balance of support ...

The importance of routine and environmental consistency cannot be overstated when dealing with circadian disorders. The quiet operation and motion isolation of Night Air® beds ensure that once you fall asleep, you stay asleep—even if your partner’s clock is ticking on a different rhythm. This undisturbed rest is essential for syncing the body's internal timing mechanisms.

Genes may guide your sleep, but they don’t have to control your comfort. With Night Air®’s precision customization, even those with atypical sleep patterns can create a sleep environment that works with their biology—not against it.
